I, Liu Bian, the hero

Chapter 54 Discussing the Liangzhou Rebel Process ([-])
Just when Guan Yu and Hua Xiong were in conflict, in Hanyang City, a middle-aged man in commoner clothes came outside the county mansion.

At that time, there were two county guards outside the county mansion, and the younger man raised his hand to stop him and said, "This is the county mansion, and idlers are not allowed to enter..."

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by an older county soldier and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense!"

After all, he cupped his hands to the middle-aged man under the bewildered eyes of the young county soldier, "Don't blame the prefect Gai, this brat was recruited recently, he is from Xixian County in the south, so he doesn't recognize you, you Don't get acquainted with him."

It turned out that this middle-aged man was Gai Xun, the former prefect of Hanyang County. Last year, he saw that Geng Bi, the new governor of Liangzhou, was working in Chengqiu, and he concluded that Geng Bi would inevitably fail despite repeated persuasion. Frustrated, he abandoned his official position and returned home, and Fan Jin, the magistrate of Ji County, took over the post of Hanyang prefect temporarily.

At that time, Fu Xie was feuding with Zhao Zhong, Zhongchang servant. Zhao Zhong saw that Fu Xie angrily reprimanded Cui Lie for the Liangzhou rebellion in the Chongde Hall, so he took the opportunity to persuade Emperor Ling to appoint Fu Xie as the prefect of Hanyang, and took the opportunity to transfer the latter to Hanyang.

In short, Gai Xun and Fu Xie are predecessors.

"Prefect Gai, why are you here? Didn't you go home?" After sending the young soldiers back to their posts, the older soldiers asked Gai Xun in a low voice.

Gai Xun shook his head and said, "Jincheng County is the home of the rebel army. My hometown is in Dunhuang. How can I go back? By the way, I am no longer the prefect of Hanyang, so don't call me prefect again. You..."

He looked hesitantly at the county soldier in front of him: "I remember that your name seems to be...Fan...Fan..."

"Fan Liang." The county soldier hurriedly reported his life to avoid Gai Xun.

"Yes, yes." Gai Xun nodded again and again, and immediately noticed the blood-oozing wound cloth on Fan Liang's chest. In Ji County, are there heavy casualties?"

"Alas." The county soldier named Fan Liang sighed, shook his head and said, "If the imperial army hadn't come to help in time, neither Fu Taishou nor Ji County could have been saved..."

Do you think the casualties were severe?He swallowed this sentence back to his stomach.

But Gai Xun was ashamed and ashamed, and begged for a while: "Fan Liang, I know you're blaming me, and I don't expect you to forgive me, but please inform Governor Fu for me, please."

"Prefect Gai's words are serious." Fan Liang did not dare to speak, and immediately told Gai Xun, "Prefect Fu is training in the barracks outside the city, and now the ones in the county office are You Zhonglang General Zhu Jun and Zhu Zhonglang General."

Gai Xun's expression straightened upon hearing this, and he pleaded, "Please inform General Zhu Zhonglang for me."

At that time, Zhu Jun was in the government office, and he and a group of army staff were deducing the strategy against the maps of Liangzhou's counties. After a while, they came outside the house and said outside the door: "General Zhonglang, the former prefects of Hanyang County Gai Xun and Gai Yuangu are asking to see you." .”

"..."

Zhu Jun raised his head, with some surprise on his face, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Please come in."

"Yes." Fan Liang bowed and retreated, and brought Gai Xun after a while.

At this time, Zhu Jun has temporarily ordered the group of soldiers and staff to retreat, and made a special trip to wait for Gai Xun in the house. Seeing the latter coming, he was about to speak, but Gai Xun bowed deeply and said, "Sinner Gai Xun, I pay my respects to General Zhonglang." .”

Zhu Jun exclaimed in surprise, "What's the prefect Gai doing?"

As he spoke, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Gai Xun up, only to see the latter say with shame on his face: "In the past, I saw Geng Bi doting on Cheng Qiu, and I refused to persuade him many times. Abandoned his official position and went to live in the mountains around Ayang...A few days ago, I heard that the rebel army invaded Hanyang and surrounded Ji County. Fortunately, the imperial court sent General Zhonglang to lead reinforcements in time, and Ji County was spared. , After thinking about it, I felt that there was something wrong in my heart, so I came here today to plead guilty, and ask Zhong Lang to deal with it."

Zhu Jun was stunned when he heard the words, he lifted Gai Xun up and comforted him, "Geng Bi is headstrong, conceited and ignorant of people, and in the end he harmed others and himself, and brought Liangzhou to where it is today. It's a sin. However, you left Hanyang's army and people behind because of a moment of enthusiasm, and you are not as good as Fu Taishou in this regard."

"Gai Xun is guilty, please Zhong Lang will punish him." Gai Xun said in shame.

Seeing this, Zhu Jun smiled and said: "Punishment is unnecessary. Since you feel ashamed, you should do your part to put down the rebellion in Liangzhou.... Would you like it?"

Gai Xun hurriedly said, "That's exactly why the Caomin came here this time."

Zhu Jun was overjoyed, and held Gai Xun's hand and said, "Since that's the case, I'm wronging you to stay by my side for the time being and join the military..."

Gai Xun cupped his hands and said, "What does General Zhonglang say? How dare you pick and choose as a sinner who loses his official position?"

Not long after, Fu Xie, the prefect of Hanyang, also heard the news, and came in a hurry. When he saw Gai Xun, he said happily, "It really is the prefect Gai..."

When Gai Xun saw Fu Xie, his face became more and more ashamed.

After all, when Fu Xie first took office, he learned that Gai Xun had abandoned his official position and lived in seclusion in the mountains, so he specially sent someone to look for him, hoping that Gai Xun would help him. Xie was his successor, and he inevitably had some emotions in his heart, so he flatly refused.

And a few days ago, he heard that when Fu Xie led the rebel army to attack Ji County in the Kingdom, he defended Ji County to the death and refused to surrender. After killing the kingdom, he was so shocked and ashamed that he couldn't sleep, so he came to seek refuge, hoping to make up for his mistakes.

He said to Fu Xie in shame: "Fu Taishou's loyalty is far beyond that of Gai Xun. I hope Fu Taishou will forgive me for all the things I did before..."

Fu Xie smiled and said: "What is the prefect Gai talking about? Prefect Gai is willing to fight the rebels with us and defend Liangzhou. I wish for it, General Zhonglang, don't you think so?"

"Haha." Zhu Jun stroked his beard and smiled.

He had heard of Gai Xun's reputation earlier, and he had a good impression of Gai Xun. Today, seeing that he knew his mistakes, he corrected them, so he didn't care about Gai Xun's arbitrariness in the past.

The three of them talked about the current situation. During this period, Zhu Jun also wanted Gai Xun to reveal the court's determination to wipe out the rebels in Liangzhou. The three of us are located in Chang'an, Sanfu, and Hanyang respectively, and we have sent Liu Xuande, Sun Wentai, Dong Zhongying, Cao Mengde and other brave generals to wipe out the rebels!"

Gai Xun never expected that the imperial court's attack on Liangzhou's rebels turned out to be such a lineup. He was surprised and delighted, and just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the house.

The next moment, the Infantry Captain Wang Rong rushed in and said anxiously: "General Zhonglang, something has happened. Someone came to report that Guan Yu led the Henan Cavalry to fight Dong Zhuo's Hedong Army."

"What?!" Zhu Jun was startled and angry, and said anxiously, "Where is Liu Xuande? Tell him to come see me immediately!"

Wang Rong clasped his fists and said: "Liu Bei has already led people to rush there, and Zhao Fang, the captain of the Tunqi school, also followed, and also transferred the Tunqi."

Zhu Jun was startled and angry after hearing this, and hurriedly led Gai Xun, Fu Xie, and Wang Rong to Pingxiang on horseback.

Pingxiang is more than [-] miles away from Ji County, and they don't expect to be able to catch up. Even Liu Bei and Tunqi School Captain Zhao Fang didn't catch up.

Dong Zhuo was the first to lead the army to arrive. When he arrived, Guan Yu led more than [-] Henan cavalry and was encircling Dong Huang, Li Jue and hundreds of Hedong troops under them.

What's more, at least a hundred Hedong pawns have been lying down on the ground, each of them groaning and wailing in pain after being shot.

That's right, even though there are hundreds of soldiers from Hedong, Guan Yu's subordinates are all cavalry and equipped with crossbows. No matter how brave the Hedong soldiers are, how can they beat the cavalry?
That is to say, Guan Yu didn't have such thoughts, as long as he thought about it, he and the more than [-] Henan cavalry under his command could easily kill all these hundreds of Hedong soldiers.

Of course, this kind of thing really made a big fuss.

"Guan Cheng."

A member of the Henan cavalry team was whispering to Guan Yu: "This place is not far from Pingxiang. If Dong Zhuoruo finds out, he will definitely bring people here. I might not get any advantage by waiting, so it's better to leave early."

Guan Yu stroked his beard with one hand, shook his head and said, "I haven't committed a crime, why should I retreat? If I retreat, it seems that I am at fault."

Before he finished speaking, suddenly a Henan rider pointed in the direction of Pingxiang and said: "Guan Cheng, there is an army coming from the direction of Pingxiang, it is the Hedong army!"

Guan Yu turned his head to watch, and before he could speak, he heard Dong Huang cursed bitterly under the protection of a group of Hedong troops: "Guan Yu, my uncle is here to help, let me see how rampant you are!"

"Hmph!" Guan Yu snorted lightly, disdainful to quarrel with Dong Huang.

Not long after, the Hedong army came here, and it was indeed Dong Zhuo who came in person.

He glanced at the situation at Dong Huang's side and saw many soldiers of his Hedong army lying on the ground, his expression sank immediately, and he asked Guan Yu, "Guan Yunchang, I respect that your teacher is from the same family as Shihou, and I have been patient in every way before. , Unexpectedly, you would lead the Henan Cavalry to attack Dong's soldiers without authorization, Guan Yunchang, are you planning to rebel?!"

Guan Yu took two steps forward on his horse, cupped his hands in a perfunctory manner, and then said in a deep voice, "Don't frame Guan as Governor Dong. Today, Guan was ordered by General Zhonglang to lead Henan cavalry to patrol the surrounding area, but he saw Dong The nephew of the prefect led troops to attack the villages, looted property, and slaughtered innocent people, so he stepped forward to dissuade him, but unexpectedly, Hua Xiong, the captain of the prefect Dong, threatened Guan to leave, and even drew his sword at Guan..."

"..."

Dong Zhuo frowned when he heard the words. In fact, he knew what was going on, but he didn't expect that Dong Huang and others would bump into Guan Yu by such a coincidence.

"Hua Xiong!" He shouted loudly.

As soon as the words fell, Dong Huang shouted from a distance: "Uncle, Hua Xiong was struck to death by Guan Yu!"

"what?!"

Dong Zhuo was shocked and angry.

At this time, Li Ru, who came with Dong Zhuo, had already taken advantage of the time when the former was talking to Guan Yu, and hinted that his army would surround Guan Yu and the two hundred Henan cavalry. He said in a loud voice: "It's better to take this Guan Yu first, and then confront Liu Bei.... Guan Yu is a hostage, and Liu Bei can only plead guilty at that time."

Dong Zhuo suddenly came to his senses, and said to Guan Yu: "Guan Yunchang, you killed my captain, why don't you get off your horse and confess your crime?"

Guan Yu said lightly: "Guan is innocent, but Governor Dong allowed his soldiers to kill and plunder. I don't know how to explain it to General Zhonglang?"

Seeing Guan Yu's arrogance, Dong Zhuo was furious and shouted, "Who will take Guan Yu down for me!"

"I come!"

As soon as the words fell, Sima Zhang Ji slapped his horse away, heading straight for Guan Yu.

How could he be Guan Yu's opponent? After fighting Guan Yu for a few moves, Zhang Ji lost his ability to succeed. Seeing Guan Yu slashing down with his sword, Zhang Ji said to himself: My life is over!

However, Guan Yu did not kill him, he put the blade of the Yanyue Saber on Zhang Ji's neck, and said arrogantly: "Guan has not seen you mutilating innocent people, so I don't want to hurt you, so you should retreat yourself, don't make mistakes. "

Zhang Ji was ashamed and pulled his horse back.

Seeing this, three other Sima under Dong Zhuo's command looked at each other, and they slapped their horses to face Guan Yu together. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu, with one against three, did not lose the slightest bit of wind, and slapped them off the horse one after another with the face of their knives.

Amidst the cheers and cheers of more than two hundred Henan riders, Dong Zhuo also showed a bit of shock on his face.
